Abstract
A hardware concept of an optical fluorescence tomography (OFT) system for imaging of small animals is described. The automated system features epi- and transillumination image acquisition capability over 360° using a stepper- motor driven double-ring mechanism for independent positioning of the imaging components around the object located in the rotation center. During the imaging procedure the object remains in a natural and fixed position on a removable object tray. This layout could facilitate the OFT system to be used in multi-modality imaging concepts.
